Omg, that is hysterical! I’m sure my husband would have written the same. As for my 7 stages of marriage, well I would probably agree with the horny being first (it’s not just for men), then kids, tired, more kids, less money, drive kids everywhere, kids move out, horny comes back.

Ha. The endlessness of sports on TV. My husband just informed me that the NBA season officially opens on Wednesday (or that’s when the Raptors open). Me: “So you’ve been wasting your time on preseason?”

Horny is a given and should not be included as a stage. My seven stages, in question form: 1. Do you need to call your mom again tonight? 2. Do I need to see your corpulent sister at our front door, in our living room, cleaning my bathroom, again? She can bring dinner over again, though. 3. If there is no food in the refrigerator, what happened to our grocery budget this week? 4. Whose turn is it to kill our son this week? 5. What do you look like naked? Remind me. Please. (I am talking to my wife, by the way) 6. How much do divorces cost? 7. Did you read that note with Ephesians 5:22-24 that I left for you on the refrigerator? How about the one on your pillow? The one I taped to your Slimfast can? I am going to carve it in the door of the refrigerator.

Why do so many men overlook verses 21 and 25. Verse 21 says to “be subject to ONE ANOTHER in the fear of Christ.” and 25 says “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR HER.”

If we’re going to quote scripture, let’s not just pick out what we like.

We go with seasons as in spring is fresh and new and lovely, summer is fun, fall things are routine and oh hum, winter is when it’s cold and bickering happens, but spring rolls around again and we are in love and find happiness within each other and our family. And these are marriage seasons, not connected to the weather really haha! Winter can happen in spring and summer in winter, etc…

Or we equate it to surfing…some waves are epic…some duds…sometimes you crash or the wave crashes on you, other times it’s a fabulous ride…and nature along win your flexibility plays a roll in how the wave ride goes…
